The Brevard to which I belong is located in Transylvania County, North Carolina. I know. I simply couldn't resist. (Bumper stickers saying "Bite Me" proliferate.) The county is famous for its waterfalls and white squirrels.
Here are links to some of my favorite places in Brevard and North Carolina.
